Go USA!!

I'm by no means a soccer fan.  At one time, when I was about 10, I decided I was going to be a soccer player like all of my friends.  I got a uniform and cleats, and shin guards.  I became part of the local team (not even sure what our name was), and I "played" soccer for one whole season.  What was learned during this foray into sports was I can't run - it's completely not in my nature; I bounce instead of running - and soccer's hard.  Like really hard.  After that first game, my soccer career was officially over but I was stuck slugging through for the rest of the season, much to the chagrin of my family who was forced to watch their incapable daughter bounce all of the field in search of a ball that was most likely somewhere she wasn't,

However, that's not to say, that I'm not all about the Women's World Cup this year.  These girls are awesome and are kicking some serious butt!  I have all the respect in the world for anyone who can run and play that hard for 90 whole minutes and not die of a heart attack in the middle of the field. I sure as heck couldn't.  They are some serious athletes! And they deserve to have all little girls looking up to them!  Maybe those little girls will soon have more soccer prowess than I ever did.

The US team is all pretty popular right now, but I have a suspicion that when (why even bother with if?) they win, they'll have millions more fans screaming they're praises. It's so cool to see!  You go girls!
